Say What You Like

Say what you like about alcoholism, but the poster in Starbucks (on the toilet wall, no less) – “Behind every good cup of coffee there is a barista and a good story” – makes no sense at all, unless they’re talking about Guinness and bartenders.

Say what you like, but life is not acted out, doesn’t raise its voice or spill over with coffee – it barely even clears its throat, and keeps itself to itself. And baristas, for the most part, are somewhat lacking in free indirect style.
